“What is adventure?

Adventure offers every human being the ability to live ‘the’ moment of his or her most passionate idea, fantasy or pursuit. It may take form in the arts, acting, sports, travel or other creative endeavors. Once engaged, a person enjoys ‘satori’ or the perfect moment. That instant may last seconds or a lifetime. The key to adventure whether it be painting, dancing, sports or travel: throw yourself into it with rambunctious enthusiasm and zealous energy—which leads toward uncommon passion for living. By following that path, you will attract an amazing life that will imbue your spirit and fulfill your destiny as defined by you alone. In the end, you will savor the sweet taste of life pursuing goals that make you happy, rewarded and complete. As a bonus, you may share your life experiences with other bold and uncommon human beings that laugh at life, compare themselves with no one and enjoy a whale of a ride!

“My father was usually too far in the drink to remember he had children. My mother was half mad and had fewer morals than the barn cat we brought back today. Since none of our relations wanted custody of a pair of impoverished brats, Devon and I were sent to boarding school. We stayed there most holidays. I became a bully. I hated everyone. Henry was especially irritating- skinny, odd, fussy about his food. Always reading. I stole that book from the box under his bed because it seemed to be his favorite."
Pausing uncomfortably, Mr. Ravenel raked a hand through his disordered hair, and it promptly fell back into the same gleaming, untidy layers. "I didn't plan to keep it.

But then I read the first page."
"In which Stephen Armstrong is sinking in a pit of quicksand," Phoebe said with a tremulous smile.
"Exactly. I had to find out what happened next."
"After escaping the quicksand, he has to save his true love, Catriona, from the crocodiles."
A husky sound of amusement. "You marked x's all over those pages."
"I secretly longed for a hero to rescue me from crocodiles someday."
"I secretly longed to be a hero. Despite having far more in common with the crocodiles.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Devil's Daughter

“Prologo
Mar delle Antille, 1670

Una bordata di dodici cannoni squarciò la murata di dritta del veliero francese, che avvampò con un frastuono d’inferno. Scaglie roventi e artiglieri in uniforme schizzarono verso l’alto, volute di fumo nero appestarono l’aria. La risposta, fulminea, sfondò il cassero della nave pirata, diverse palle raggiunsero vele e sartiame, scalfirono l’albero di mezzana e il trinchetto, che oscillarono pericolosamente, sbalzando gli uomini ancorati ai pennoni.
«Fuoco!» urlò in inglese una voce imperiosa.
Stavolta l’offensiva mirò più in alto, con una precisione che si fece micidiale. La fregata della flotta del Re Sole subì una scossa da poppa a prua mentre a uno a uno gli alberi, tranciati dalle palle incatenate, crollavano insieme a grovigli fiammeggianti di vele e cordami in mezzo al fuggi fuggi generale.
«Ci vengono addosso armati di parrucca, calze di seta, boria e poco altro.» Il capitano pirata sogghignò, beffardo, lo sguardo affascinato da tanto sfacelo, dal fuoco che stava correndo dai tronconi dell’albero maestro al fasciame lucido.
«Signore! Signore!» La voce del quartiermastro risuonò ansiosa e lui si girò, nel momento in cui qualcuno lo gettava a terra, finendogli tra le braccia con un gemito rauco. Un fiotto di sangue sprizzò sul lino purissimo della sua camicia.
«Padre…» farfugliò, terreo. Alzò gli occhi. Su una coffa avversa, uno dei pochi punti rimasti integri della nave francese, un archibugiere in livrea imbracciava ancora il moschetto fumante contro di loro… contro di lui. Fece per sparare di nuovo, ma cadde in acqua, centrato in pieno da una granata. La destrezza dei bombardieri della Lucky Chance era rinomata fino all’Atlantico e oltre.
«Padre…» ripeté il capitano, chino sul ferito, che respirava a fatica. Alcuni uomini gli si fecero attorno e, come lui, con la sua stessa impotenza, si avvidero che la situazione era senza via di scampo. «Non lasciatemi, signore,» supplicò, imperterrito. L’usuale caparbietà gli lampeggiò in faccia, alzò la testa e gridò: «Chiamate Fabien! Presto!» Subito dopo riportò l’attenzione sull’uomo a cui doveva tutto… tutto ciò che sapeva, tutto ciò che era. «Resistete, signore. Fabien vi curerà. Lui ci salva sempre. Salverà anche voi.»
Il ferito lo guardò con uno stentato sorriso e gli batté un colpetto affettuoso sulla mano, sillabando in affanno:
«Non stavolta, Julian. Non stavolta. Lo sai anche tu, ragazzo mio.»

“Children don't realize how bad things are. This is their norm. They don't realize how much of their childhood is being stolen by screens. They simply have no escape. It follows them home. It follows them everywhere. The phone is always on their minds. Texts are constant, often misinterpreted, hurtful, with no visual cues. They take the place of learning how to have genuine conversations.”
― Benjamin Conlon
